After an overnight layover in London, it was time to continue the journey to India! Because of the way the upgrade voucher works, the previous leg from Belfast was free, and this flight was simply a continuation of that ticket. I spent the night at the off-site Sheraton that is a short bus/uber ride away. Continue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 4: LHR-MAA”

As readers will probably notice, it’s now travel season for me again! My next set of trips is to India for a wedding.

Spring Break to Europe Part 2B: Aer Lingus to SFO!
After my short flight from Manchester, I headed for passport control. Unfortunately, my flight arrived at about the same time as flights from the United States, so the “other” passport line was extremely long and slow. I explained to the agent that I had come in from Manchester and was on my way to the United States,Continue reading “Spring Break to Europe Part 2B: Aer Lingus to SFO!”
Spring break to Europe! Part 1: BA
For our next flight adventure, we’re heading to London on British Airways. As readers will know, this has been a very common method for me to get to Europe since I moved to San Francisco in 2022.

DeltaOne Transcontinental: SFO-JFK
Just a couple weeks after my short trip to LA, I had my next (actually planned) trip! I had found the tickets for this journey several months in advance. My favorite time to travel is late January/February because the flights are usually cheaper, less full, and more upgrades are available. For those keeping track, asContinue reading “DeltaOne Transcontinental: SFO-JFK”
Around the world part 3: Madrid to Seoul
After an overnight stay in Guadalajara, Spain (which is near Madrid), it was time to head back to the airport. I had arrived in Spain at around 6 pm and then my flight to Seoul departed at 9 pm, so I was in Spain for just over 24 hours. I enjoyed my time at theContinue reading “Around the world part 3: Madrid to Seoul”
Around the world part 1: San Francisco to London
Here begins my next exciting Thanksgiving trip: my first around the world trip! Like a lot of my trips, this trip started at San Francisco International Airport. This initial flight was supposed to be from San Francisco to Phoenix to London so that (a) I’d arrive a bit earlier and (b) earn an additional 40 TierContinue reading “Around the world part 1: San Francisco to London”
18 000 miles in 11 days: My Around the World Trip for Thanksgiving 2024
Here begins my next exciting Thanksgiving trip: my first around the world trip! Last Thanksgiving, I took an equally interesting and flight heavy trip that took me to Europe and Africa and even included one of the world’s top International First Class products: Etihad’s A380 Apartment-style First Class. That trip involved a wild itinerary fromContinue reading “18 000 miles in 11 days: My Around the World Trip for Thanksgiving 2024”
June EuroTrip Part 4B: London to New York (Club World)
After exiting the lounge and scanning my boarding pass at the gate, it was time to begin the final part of the journey: heading to my friends’ wedding! I boarded the plane through door 2 and then turned left into the mini Club World cabin. My flight was on BA’s 777-300ER, which is its biggestContinue reading “June EuroTrip Part 4B: London to New York (Club World)”
